Re: Balancing beads?
have sold about 6 sets thru work and so far the consensus is not a good one
even put them in my own 35" mudstars and they didnt work very well

Re: Balancing beads?
I ran them in my 33s (tubeless), fine on road but have popped a few beads off road and now need to remove all the mud and balancing beads and see about cleaning the beads out so I can re use. Will be using tubes next time too. I think I need more than the stated amounts to keep them balanced a bit better but I'll give them another go.
Only downside I have had other than the beads popping is that at road speeds under 30K around town etc, they don't seem to balance as well as they should but I don't often run them as daily tyres.
